Algeria
Algeria is a large oil and gas producer and exporter. In 2015, the country updated its Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan to 2030, and put greater focus on the deployment of large-scale renewables, including solar PV and onshore wind installations, through various incentive measures.

Electricity Mid-Year Update 2025 Emissions: Power generation CO2 emissions are plateauing
…in China. This corresponds to a modest average annual decline rate of less than 1% for China in 2025-2026. This is highly sensitive to fluctuations in electricity demand, which can result from deviations from the latest economic projections as well as variations in weather conditions in individual years. Nevertheless, the rapid growth of renewable energy in China, accompanied by rising nuclear generation, will limit fossil-fired power generation and continue to support the trend towards flattening emissions from electricity generation. The European Union follows China with substantial declines in emissions from power generation over the 2025-2026 period. US…

India Bioenergy Market Report Executive summary
Bioenergy is particularly important for India’s rapidly growing energy market. It can strengthen energy security, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, create economic development and employment opportunities - especially in rural communities - and contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions. These benefits align closely with national energy and climate objectives, enabling India to leverage its domestic resources to support cleaner energy growth. India’s abundant agricultural residues and organic waste provide a strong resource base for modern bioenergy production.India’s ethanol industry has emerged as one of the country’s most successful policy-driven energy stories. Backed by a suite…

Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit: Case studies
The following case studies demonstrate how different countries have successfully implemented energy efficiency policies across various sectors. These real-world examples are designed to support policymakers by offering practical insights into what works, under which conditions, and why.Each case study highlights specific policy instruments—such as regulations, information campaigns, or financial incentives—and shows how they have been applied in different contexts. They provide evidence on the outcomes achieved, lessons learned, and the challenges encountered during implementation. Readers are encouraged to explore the case studies by sector, policy type, or geographic region using the filters provided. Case studies bridge…

Energy and AI AI for energy optimisation and innovation
…these AI-led interventions are overcome. But it stops short of considering the full theoretical potential of AI-led interventions, as it factors in certain insurmountable structural issues that would block their complete adoption. For example, we consider variations in adoption by region by factoring in the availability of enabling digital infrastructure. AI applications for optimising energy systems Oil and gas companies have been among the earliest adopters of new technologies to boost exploration and production. In 2000, 11 supercomputers operated by oil and gas companies ranked among the world’s 500 fastest. By 2024, this number had increased to…

Mexico
Mexico’s energy and economic profile presents both challenges and opportunities as a major oil producer, exporter and through its growing domestic energy demand. Mexico was the first large oil producing emerging economy to adopt climate legislation in 2012 and has seen growth in renewable electricity generation from wind and solar, which almost tripled from 2015 to 2022. However, strong action is needed across all sectors to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and bring down greenhouse gas emissions.

Steel
Country and regional highlights
Near zero-emission projects advance fastest in Europe, with some progress for low-emissions facilities globally
CO2 emissions
The CO2 emission intensity of steel has been relatively stable in recent years, but needs to drop significantly to align with the NZE Scenario
Energy
A reduction in reliance on coal and an increase in electricity use are required to get on track with the NZE Scenario

Gaining an Edge Unlocking the potential of energy efficiency
…and other factors, the energy required to produce the same sales volume varies significantly within the same subsector and to manufacture equivalent products. For example, energy consumption can vary by a factor of five times to manufacture plastic bags, and by a factor of seven times to produce bricks, with similar figures observed for other types of products, from milk to ceramic tiles to plastic bottles. While some of these variations can be due to differences in products and other factors, such wide disparities highlight the potential for many firms to reduce energy expenditures through improved energy efficiency. In IEA…

Luxembourg 2026 Executive summary
…remain low. The buildings sector accounted for over 20% of national energy-related GHG emissions, while space heating in the residential sector alone accounted for 13% of emissions in 2024. Heat pump deployment is growing but from a small base, supported by subsidies, tax incentives and advisory services. To complement these financial incentives, Luxembourg would benefit from a more strategic approach to space heating, using municipal heat mapping and heat planning to identify where district heating is viable and where electrification through heat pumps is the most cost-effective.As the largest contributor to both energy demand and emissions, the…

Renewables 2022 Renewable heat
…2027 Given the policy landscape as of September 2022, global heat consumption – excluding ambient heat harnessed by heat pumps – is projected to grow almost 14 EJ (+6%) during 2022-2027. Increasing industrial activity drives this trend, with China and India together representing 60% of industrial heat demand growth, while energy efficiency improvements allow building heat consumption to decline 4% globally. The traditional use of biomass is anticipated to decline by more than 3 EJ (‑13%) over the outlook period, mostly in China and India, owing in part to the deployment of improved biomass cookstoves. Modern renewable heat consumption is expected to increase…
